There's constant examples of the trend that GP pointed out happening all the time. I'm pretty surprised that someone with so much internet activity hasn't noticed.

For instance, just a few days ago, a very popular TikTokker doxxed a father and asked his followers to report that father to CPS to try to get his kids taken away for expressing an opinion that they didn't like. That opinion? That children can't consent. The TikTokker isn't in jail, and he didn't lose his platform or otherwise suffer any consequences, because even though he did an extremely evil thing, his opinion was aligned with the "politically correct", and the father's opinion was "politically incorrect".

There are many, many instances of this happening - I've both seen them online, and witnessed it personally.

If you haven't seen it yourself, you're probably in a social bubble.

I must be in a social bubble then. (Def don't Tik Tok.)

I dox myself by using my real name, talk about where I live, my age, etc. — all the time. I like to think that also keeps me honest — keeps me from not posting something I wouldn't say to someone's face.

I guess the difference is under law what you are and aren't allowed to do online.

Here in Australia since 2024 it is illegal to dox someone online and it is considered a criminal offence. So that father would have the ability to press charges against that Tiktoker. Might be challenging if one of them is outside of said country law.

"Children can't consent" isn't a politically incorrect opinion. It's very much politically correct. This feels like a lede was buried, and quiet deep!
